Our face often gets the most attention when it comes to skincare. We slather on creams, serums, and other products in an effort to delay the signs of aging or address skin concerns, including acne, dark spots, scarring, and dullness. The rest of the body is often overlooked, even though it is also affected by the same skin dilemmas. A medical-grade chemical peel like the VI Peel can improve or address these concerns. by removing the skin’s damaged layers and stimulate the production of new skin cells. VI Peel is already a staple in our practice, which is why we are so excited to announce the addition of their newest offering: VI Peel Body--a solution specifically designed for the body!
First-of-its-kind, non-invasive, and pain-free! The VI Peel Body Treatment is the first and ONLY professional grade body peel for all skin types and tones that’s specifically designed to reduce pigmentation, clear body acne, fade surgical scars, and smooth away stretch marks. VI Peel Body Treatments stimulate anti-aging collagen and increase cellular turnover, which makes quick work of troubled areas and reveals smoother, more radiant skin in as little as one treatment.
Safe for all skin types, tones, and textures, and can penetrate deeper to create good change – it’s a peel for every body.
Why is there a need for body peel?
-
Thicker skin – Body peels are much like facial peels, but are stronger and able to penetrate deeper. This is because the skin on the body isn't as thin or delicate as that on your face--in fact it is two to three times thicker. This means that, when used on the body, traditional facial peels only penetrate the skin's outermost layer, and will have less penetration, and therefore effect, on areas of the body.
-
To create true corrective change – The natural skin cell turnover cycle of the face and body is also different. It takes 28 days for the face and about 70 days for the body. So, in order to create visible changes and results, the chemical peel for the body needs to penetrate the dermis and speed up the peeling process. It also has to work on all skin types and tones.
Just like the regular VI Peel, VI Peel Body is also non-invasive and pain-free. It increases cellular turnover and stimulates collagen production through a synergistic blend of ingredients that:
- Removes or exfoliates dead surface cells away
- Penetrates deeper to target acne, wrinkles, and uneven texture
- Hydrates and lightens pigmentation as it firms
- Reduces sebum production and suppresses pigment
